The Trinamool Congress (TMC) is facing a deepening crisis following the expulsion of two MLAs, Sandipan Saha and Ritabrata Banerjee, over allegations of fraudulent endorsements of signatures. This incident is seen as a reflection of the party's long-standing organizational decline and Mamata Banerjee's diminishing control. Critics argue that the controversy symbolizes the erosion of internal democracy within the party, where loyalty is manufactured rather than earned. Abhishek Banerjee, the party's General Secretary and Mamata's nephew, is at the center of the scandal, with the state CID seeking his questioning. The fallout from this controversy complicates Mamata Banerjee's efforts to unify the opposition against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) under the INDIA platform, as internal discord undermines her credibility. The TMC's recent electoral defeat, particularly Mamata's loss in Bhabanipur, has intensified scrutiny of her leadership, revealing a party struggling with infighting and corruption issues. This situation highlights the challenges Mamata faces in balancing governance with party management, as she navigates a landscape marked by dissent and a weakening grip on her organization.
